Application filed March 1, 1918.

7 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WlLLIAM G. NUTT, :1 citizen of the United States, residing at rlorarshoro, in the county of Craighead and State of Arkansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fruit-Jar Holders, of whieh the Following is a specification.

This invention is an improved 'lruit jar holder especially adapted for use in han dline' :1 hot fruit. jar when holding the same over :1 hot pan of fruit while being filled, the object of the invention being to provide an improved deviee of this 1-,l1ararter which GIIllJWllQS a clamping element and also embodies a jar sllp mrting hraeket connected to and carried by the chopping element and on whirh the hottonii ol the jar rests when the holder is in use, thereby preventing all possibility of the jar from accidentally slipping from the (lumping element.

The invention consists in the CQJI SlilllC' tion, (continuation and arrangement of devices hereinafter desrrihed and claimed.

In the aoroinpanyi11g drawings:-

Figure l an elevation oi the fruit'jai' holder eonstrmgted in aerordmiee with my invention azni shoyving the same in use on a fruit iar, the latter heing indicated in dotted outline.

Fig. 2 is :1. plan of the same partly in section.

Fig. 3 is :1 detail view of the (damping hand.

Fig. i is :1 plan view of :1 wrench for use in ('onneetion with the jar holder.

My improved-l'ruit jar holder comprises :1 rlan'iping element 1 and a supporting element 2. The clamping element here shown as comprising :1 pair of pivotally connected jaws i earh ol' whieh has a handle 4, and also eomprises a longitudinally adjustahle hand 71 to pass around and rlamp the jar. Said hand comprises a. main mom-- her (3 which is pivotally attached as at 1 to one of the jaws and also comprises :1. memher 8 \vhirh is pivotally eonneeted to the other jaw and has an opening 9 through \vhieh the free end ol the memher tiextends and in which said. 'nu-mher is adjustable. The. member 8 has an outwardly projecting hook 10 at its upper end and the member 6 has :1 series of adjusting openings 1L any one of which may he engaged. with said Specification of Letters Patent.

hook. Hence the clamping band may be adjusted as required to adapt it to tit around :1 jar of any size.

The supporting it einher 2 is here shown as a disk 12 adaptee to hear under the center of the bottom oi the jar and also romprises :1 right anglal .hrarhet memher- 13 having a horizontal arln 14 and :1 vertieal arm 15. The upper end of the vertical arm 15 forms the pivot whirh connects the jaws 3 together, as show 1.

hen the jar holder is in use the hotlom ot' the jar bears on he disk of the supporting element and the hand of the clamping elen'ient passes aroi nd the jar so that the jar is very firmly and securely held and there is no danger of its being easually do tached from the ho der; The disk 12 may be readily turned 'earwardly from under the jar and elampii g hand and may he arranged under the le'er arms -l when desired.

The wrench shonn in Fig. i and whieh may he used in connection with my holder for taking oil or p itting on l'ruit jar caps eomprises :1 pair of pivotally eonnerted jaws l6 and having lever arms 17 and eonnee-ted together by r n open jar eap engaging wire hand 18.

\Vhile I have lher in shown and desrribed the preferred form it my invention 1 would have it understom that rhanges may he made in the form, r mslruetion and arrangementof the several parts without deparl-, ing from the spirt ol' my invention and within the seope ol th appended rlaim.

Having thus desrrihed my invention what I claim is:-

A, fruit jar hoh er eomprising :1 rlamping element embodying a pair ol pivolally (connected lever im uuhers and a i-lamping hand ronnerted :in l operated hy said lever memhers and :1 supporting memher l'or arrangement under the hollom of a jar. said supporting memher having an upstanding arm \\-'lli(ll holds t11-.(:l:1mpiug element and also forms the piv )l for the lever memhers thereof.
